THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN URL AND HTTP

URL is the abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator. URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

Parts of a URL

The first part of the URL is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and there source name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain Online Tech Dictionary for IT Professionals. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol;the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

short for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Web page.

The other main standard that controls how the World Wide Web works is HTML,which covers how Web pages are formatted and displayed.

HTTP: A Stateless Protocol

HTTP is called a stateless protocol because each command is execute dindependently, without any knowledge of the commands that came before it. This is the main reason that it is difficult to implement Web sites that react intelligently to user input. This shortcoming of HTTP is being addressed in a number of new technologies, including ActiveX,Java,JavaScript and cookies

Provides an extra means of income through AdSense, paid ads and promotions. There are many more benefits. So as an entrepreneur, business owner or someone who wants to maximize the internet, I recommend you start a blog. If you don't own a blog, your presence online is very limited.
